About the Item

European lighting of the 1940s occupied an interesting point between the decorative character of Art Deco and the increasingly functional direction of early modernism. Lighting became more streamlined, with slender structures, adjustable elements, and carefully controlled illumination taking precedence over elaborate ornament. Brass remained an important material, bringing warmth to these reduced forms, while wood, fabric, and glass created material contrasts. The lamp rises from a low circular black base into a slender stem, giving the piece a light presence despite its height. The case features a beautiful floral brass detail which stands out against the dark metal. The shaft is made of fluted brass, timeless and elegant. Towards the top, flexible necks articulate the transition toward the shades. The single stem divides into two brass arms that curve outward in opposing directions. Each arm terminates in a compact tapered fabric shade which conceals the lightbulb and diffuses the glow. The construction allows the two light points to be angled independently. Their slightly different heights introduce asymmetry and movement into an otherwise disciplined composition. Brass becomes increasingly prominent toward the top of the lamp, drawing attention to the branching arms and their delicate curves, together with the light colour of the fabric shades, while the dark base and shaft visually anchor the composition below. The relationship between the long vertical stem and the two lights gives the lamp its distinctive character, combining a narrow footprint with a much more generous illumination. It reflects a side of European design that prioritises atmosphere and usability, where even the most modest objects are shaped with intention and care. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The lamp has recently been reconditioned and rewired. The shades were custom made by our in-house atelier. Due to the age and nature of the materials, the item has marks, scratches, dents and discolouration. The lamp is compatible with an E26 / E27 (standard) fitting. All lighting can be converted for US usage. Dimensions: 27.95 in W x 10.83 in D x 56.30 in H 71 cm W x 27.5 cm D x 143 cm H
